The story

How Saddle Rock Estates came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Saddle Rock Estates.

Read it all →

The name of Saddle Rock Estates reflects the fact that it is located adjacent to the Incorporated Village of Saddle Rock. However, Saddle Rock Estates has never been a part of that village, and the hamlet merely took its name from its incorporated neighbor.

In 1941, residents were successful in gaining permission to have the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District expand into their hamlet as part of an extension project. At the time, the then-proposed expansion project was estimated to cost $140,000 (1941 USD).
